Re: fan characters
oftenretold replied to your post:
I have a question about a potential grey area: fanmade characters. I have trouble discerning whether or not they violate copyright because the characters were created by someone else, but use MSPA concepts and ideas.

- attended four birthday parties, two thesis submission parties and the start of one birth
- drunk roughly 5 litres of wine and champagne (the latter mostly in the form of toasts to Moldova’s Eurovision entry)
- written a paper for Applied Optics (one must work on occasion)
… and now, unsurprisingly, I have a head cold. Plus it’s...

last night, in dream-bullets
- a tornado the size of a city
- sailing a small wooden boat directly into the heart of a storm
